Come with us to visit Osaka Kita for half a day on foot and by public transport!
We start by strolling along the Yodo River Park to enjoy the breathtaking view towards the skyline of the modern city. We follow the river, then pass through the Juso Bridge, to arrive at Umeda Sky Building. The 360° panoramic observatory then offers us a magnificent view towards Osaka and the whole region!
Then we pass through Osaka Station, a modern railway hub with shops, restaurants, and cafes, before diving into the heart of the Umeda business district. Our last stop is the Ohatsu Tenjin Shinto Shrine, famous for its tragic 18th century love story and its role in protecting Osaka Kita.
After this midday, you will have had plenty of eyes and you will learn more about Osaka Kita, its history, architecture, and culture. Are you coming? We are waiting for you!
